Elephant with some birds on it?

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 26 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I think the spines are part of the background, a bush or a tree or something. Also saw an elephant. Elephant standing in front of a bush.

I was thinking pig

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Who knows? Maybe just an imaginary creature with some fins on its back that happens to look like a dinosaur. The problem is that armchair archaeologists think "this looks like that" has significance when it usually doesn't.

Hang on. Is he showing this is proof that ancient civilizations had shrinking rays and could turn tiny dinosaurs into rocks, and build them into arches?

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 7 points 3 months ago

The argument here is that humans lived among dinosaurs. Probably some creationist meme where Earth is just a few thousand years old.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

I've heard stupider. Unfortunately.

Literally an elephant with a bush behind it

The whole thing looks like AI to me. Something seems off in the coloration.

To me it looks like this thing:

That was added in the 90s when the cathedral was undergoing renovation.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

That is entirely possible. AI pictures have been fooling these nuts lately. Sometimes they even say they're AI.

Right there in the lower left-hand corner.

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 11 points 3 months ago

That’s clearly an early 2nd century depiction of Your Mum

[-] Colour_me_triggered@lemm.ee 9 points 3 months ago

That's clearly a moomin

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Of course because there is no way the craftsman who made that couldn't have used artistic license. Or for that matter never observed fossils.

[-] dmention7@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago

My nephew has a bunch of depictions of dinosaurs in his room.

The only logical conclusion is that dinosaurs have roamed the earth within the last 6 years.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

We honestly have no way of knowing (unless this is some sort of common religious iconography, which it might be) what whoever carved it was thinking and why at this point. But I think 'dinosaur' is probably the worst answer.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 3 months ago

You absolute fools. This is proof they had time travel!

[-] LaserTurboShark69@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago

Wait what does this prove?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Gullibility mostly.

[-] sinkingship@mander.xyz 3 points 3 months ago

Uh, I've actually seen it. It's located in Cambodia in the Ta Prom temple (also called Tomb Raider Temple, because they filmed parts of the movie there). It's a beautiful temple just a couple of km East of Angkor Wat.

I've heard that archeologists believe it depicts a water buffalo with some leaves in the background.

Until today water buffalos are being held as work animals to carry stuff, pull weagons and plow fields.

[-] Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

Above that is a tailless kangaroo.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

And and below it is a Muppet mermaid.

[-] kindenough@kbin.earth 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

That'll do idiot, that'll do.

[-] dogsnest@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Richie Cunningham never gets old.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Sit on it, Potsie! It's a dinosaur if I say it's a dinosaur!

[-] dogsnest@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

You're not FlyingSquid!

Oh, wait...
